RE: AMA certified instructors
If you follow those definitions...
If your hobby is not also a pleasureble passtime... it won't be your hobby for long. If you keep at it and ists not pleasureable... then its a compulsive disorder problem. (or a job...[&:])

Yes Hossfly... your club's bylaws set the 3 visit limit and from your reports... you wrote the bylaws. So using the bylaws as an excuse in your case is about as bogus as you can get.
Since you don't enjoy instructiing... quit. You think you've done your share. Thats Fine.
If someone wants to give free lessons in any subject, then the students will be willing to take the lessons. Some will show thier gratitude by saying thanks. Some will offer to give something... some will just take the lessnos and walk on. That's normal.
You can find people that will give free lessons in golf. You can also find people that charge for RC flying lessons.
